We finished off a great weekend with a visit to the Hack Classic meet in Toowoomba.
Some fantastic cars , bikes and aircraft to drool over. We are just so lucky to have these events held here in the south-east corner !!



We had a great day at the Inglewood ultralight festival today. Ross took his Drifter while John and I took the opportunity to make our way out in the Jabaroo. The highlight of the day for me was a flight in the autogyro !! So many flying machines but not enough time . Sigh..........

Hatz undergoes taxi trials!!
This shot features your two intrepid aviators caught in the act of taxi testing the hatz biplane.
All went well although the undercarriage seems to be a little creaky and may need some revision??
We could only reach 20 knots so flight trials are on hold for the moment!!!
